I have recently come upon 2 prints signed by Frank Brunner. I'd post pics, but they're too big for my scanner and my digital cam has run out of battery juice.
They're both of Conan. The first, which looks more like a comic book poster than a print and is printed landscape rather than portrait, has Conan on the right side fighting tentacles coming from a red ball of energy. One of the tentacles has a blonde, naked woman in its grasp, and there is some kind of sorcerer on a ledge who is apaarently controlling the tentacles. Conan has a helm and an eye patch over his left eye. This print is signed and numbered at the lower right corner of the print. (71/100)
The second looks more like an art print and is printed in portrait format. It has Conan riding a horse with a sword in his left hand, and a spear in his right hand with a shield attached to his right forearm. There is an Arabian style castle in the left background, and the firey image of a horned skull in the upper right background in the sky. There is a printed signature an '76 on the lower left of the print, with Brunner's signature and '77 right above it in pen. At the lower right hand corner, there is "Golden Graphics, Inc. All Rights Reserved" printed in black.
Thanx in advance for any help.

Signed prints are a real "specialty" niche... During the 1970-80s they were everywhere from everybody...and Frank Brunner was right on top. I have yet to find any accurate guides that can track the market fluctuations, because, frankly they don't change hands that often. You might do a search of completed auctions on Ebay, to see what any recent sales might tell you...but other than that, they're worth what ever you want for them...and what someone's willing to pay...which may or may not be the same.

I was given some help on another board, and found that one of the pieces was called "Charger". I'm still looking for an ID on the other piece with the tentacles.
With these 2 prints, I also found a Boris print entitled "The Green Princess". The only places I've found a copy of this for sale have all been around $400. It's not signed, but is limited and numbered.
